How long i never update blog already !! Hello everybody ^_^Been since EVO? lol am i too lazy? or been losing too much that i forgot i still have a blog to write hahaha ^^ After Evo , 25th anniversary , i lost to filipinoman and ryan hart , followed by at taiwan losing to infiltration and gameouttt. Got to say i am pretty impressed by infiltration , that was the first time i actually played him in a tournament even though i seen him countless time :)I almost forgot what happened at both tournaments -_-" but it has been a really stressful period for me , haha preparing to go tournament is so tired .. At least i think i have a month break for now , before i am attending anymore tournament i guess ^_^Not really sure when is the nearest coming 1 as well..Recently has been playing alot of persona 4 , getting a little addicted to it lol .. I play yukiko , she seems to be really fun haha .. Life goes on as usual i am at tough cookie working most of the days , tired but yet fun.. Though recently felt a little lonely , maybe been too long since i have a girlfriend? hahaa and yay i know i shouldnt be blogging about personal life since its sf4 blog right lololooolBut i guess i will blog everything a little , for guys following my blog , you should see that i am a really lousy blogger , i am lazy yet lousy too lol .. But i just say whatever comes up to mind hahaI haven been touching sf4 since i came back from taiwan 25th anniversary street fighter 4 tournament , but i will be getting back in track soon.. Shall work a little harder going into the lab , Felt that i have been dropping much combos recently.. Wanted to change my Hk Gekiro timing i can be more consistent when playing tournaments or even casuals .. Just wait awhile more , have fun first playing persona 4 first? hahaaLack of accompany is pretty bad , but i realise playing games that i like really make me happy.. Tournament is stressful because of expectations , but going into the lab figuring out new stuff is an amazing feeling .. I start ot enjoy it alot more for some reason lolThere's a player who has been giving me some deep impression , A bison player .. His from America Happy Medicine , i look up a little bit manage to see his videos .. knowing he get 2nd for the capcom 25th anniversary for 1 of the qualifer.. He seems to be getting more and more solid , he's a nice guy too .. Hope the next time i will see him again in the states ^_^Ok its going to be morning here , love all you guys out there readingCheers ^_^

Evo is just around the corner .. Ceo is so hype when i saw the stream .. cant imagine evo2012?I have been practicing more on kof13 and street fighter ..As everybody knows , Bala has been dominating the kof13 street fighter tournament for very long , this year with lots of japanese kof players , china xiao hai and dakou also lots of mexician players heading as well .. It will be really interesting to watch , i prepared alot myself too as i really wanna do well in this game ..It seems japanese is still the favourites to win this year Evo ..However , alot of americans have proven themself at CEO convincingly showing they are not pushovers too .. I am so hype for this :)Its only about 1 week plus before me preparing to go Evo ..Will be heading into the training alot definely ..Gackt and Leslie is not going Evo this year ..So i wanna try my best and hope to do singapore proud..

Ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 of me in South east asia major ..To be honest , i think i really weak in that game ..If i cant find any more new technology in this game ..I dont even think i can get past pool stages in Evo :'(

These few days i will be playing more street fighter Main matchups i will be training will be cammy , feilong and ryu ..As Dakou and Xiaohai are the best players there and i gotta train more for thesematchups , however sadly i dont even have alot of experience again cammy ..Gotta work a little harder , Or hope i dont meet him? Hahahaha

Recently saw videos of Sako picking up Gen ..As always his gen was amazing with great execution ..How i wish there would be more videos so i can study those matchups :(

Amiyu did really well in shadowloo , saw few of his matches and seeinghim beating the likes of xiaohai and michael really impresses me ..Will try to figure out some good setups against cammy so i dont get screwed badlywhen i go China ahahhahaI wanted to watch those replays but i dont think its out yet on shadowloo archives :'(Hope it gets upload fast so i can copy some good techniques haha

Finally blogging again , been too lazy for the past few weeks lolI am finally back at singapore after going columbus MLG for kof 13 andbig 2 at new york ..I have alot of fun at the cities in new york , though columbus was pretty much boringas there are not much things to walk around :'(

I lost pretty much badly at MLG to romance and skye (my singapore mate) ..I will train harder and be back for the next MLG :(Skye did pretty well though getting 5th losing to Mr KOF just by a pixel ..I hope he dont get demoralised and decide to go back once again too :)

Next i went to new york Big2 , for people who doesnt know actually i am very impressed by ChrisG umvc3 , i like his morrigan alot as i think its takes alot ofskill to play a good morrigan :) I lost to him and chrisG in sfx tekken , they are way better than me , i need to buckup in this game lol , my abel is kind of pulling me down and i need to improve on myabel :( In umvc3 , i bascially almost get thrashed by anyone there lol Amercia umvc3 is just too good for me , time for me to go back and train :'(

I only won ssf4ae 2012 there , dieminion is my toughest opponent i think..I had a hard time against ChrisG too at the start , but it seems like he dont really playmuch anymore , his sakura style is very unique and i had a tough time adapting againsthim :( i also think he actually could have won , if he know abit more about how to fightagainst Gen , he doesnt seems to know the matchup too , but he's a strong player so he adapt well against me too , very strong opponent .. definely would like to play himmore if i had the chance :)

Ok i will blog again soon , seems like next tournament may be CEO and MLG sinceits about the same date near each other ^_^Lastly , i really wanted to thanks Deperation Move (DM) for sending me to this MLG and Big2 , i had alot of fun there and everything issnt possible with DM :)Appreciated it ^_^Cheers !!

Finally find a place to train !! Cameraman opening lan/console shop in parklane !!I will try to level up ^_^

Now is a post of the vega/claw matchup , hope it helps ^_^

Ultra 1 is better for this matchup because you can punish all kind of dives.I cant really explain how to counterpoke them out of their poking range , experience counts.**However , 1 very important thing i notice is very has very poor anti-air.Its either they baited for Gen to jump and air throw , or most of the time they have to block.**Gen jump is short , so jumping in unpredicably or when vega is focusing on playing footsies is very important.Dont be afraid to press your button early when jumping ( dont whiff it of cos ) , because its adds diffculty for vega to anti air..Cosmic heel at the max range or outside of Gen's poke range is very strong tool to punish Gen's footsies , so becareful.When attacking Vega , never underestimated his ex scarlet terror. Eg. After Gen did jab jab , and tried to delay abit to frametrap or kara throw or walk forward. If vega EX scarlet terror after blocking few jabs or 2 jabs , it will beat all of Gen's option.Bait it sometimes , dont waste your chance when you already get in.

**After getting backthrow by Vega , Vega will do a safe jump forward mp most of the time . At this moment ,Just release your joystick most of the time ( 1f invincibility) and press any button (up to you) , or kara throw or evenjump forward to confuse him.If the vega is good , he will probably safe jump forward mp and option select slide. So occassionally you can release yourstick and make use of the 1f invincibility to make the mp whiff , then neutral jump to punish his option select.However , dont ever release your stick if vega does safe jump after forward throw. Its too dangerous to do it.
